Cusco
Lares is the quiet one, and this list collects the treks that use its weaving villages and hot springs well. No permits apply, and the passes top out around 4,500 meters. I’d choose it over Salkantay for the cultural side alone.
Experience the beauty of the Lares Valley with a 4-day, 3-night trek. Relax in hot springs along the way and immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of Peru.
